You know, that seems to be it... I downloaded from CPAN through a
webbrowser (the new IE) which caused Stuffit to kick-in automatically
and decompress the archive. &$^%@*! Stuffit definitely wacked the 31
char filenames.Running the original download through gzip and tar
instead did the trick... everything seems to be compiling properly now.
Woo hoo!
Thanks a bunch... the filename limit wouldn't have occurred to me in a
zillion years.
